Group 7 Flashcards
Describe the trend in reducing abilities of halide ions
Reducing ability increases down the group
Explain the trend in reducing abilities of halide ions
Reducing ability increases down the group
- Ionic size increases down the group
- Shielding increases
- Attraction between outer electron and nucleus decreases
- So electron is more easily lost
What is the type of reaction between halide ion and concentrated H2SO4
Acid base reaction
What is the general formula for the reaction between halide ion and concentrated H2SO4
H2SO4 + NaX —> NaHSO4 + HX
Ionic equation:
(H+ + X - —> HX)
What is the observation when Br2 is formed
Brown/orange fumes
What is the observation when I2 is formed
Black solid/ Purple fumes
What is the observation when SO2 is formed
Pungent gas
What is the observation when S is formed
Yellow solid
What is the observation when H2S is formed
Smell of bad eggs
Describe the trend in electronegativity of halides
Decreases down the group
Explain the trend in electronegativity of halides
Decreases down the group
- Atomic size increases
- Shielding increases
-Weaker attraction between nucleus and shared pair of e- of the covalent bond
Describe the trend in boiling point of the halides
Boiling point increases down the group
Explain the trend in boiling point of the halides
Boiling point increases down the group
- Molecular size increases
- Number of electrons increases
- Van der waals forces between molecules increases
What is the best oxidising agent out of the halides
F2
What is the worst oxidising agent out of the halides
I2
